Mikhail Bulgakov and The Master and Margarita[edit]

I don't know whether this book was an inspiration, or just a source for some action in this movie. But super-natural magicians - illusionists in "Now you see me" are a clear reference to Bulhakov's book. Illusionists having fun, cheating the system, punishing the bad buys, police baffled.

Woland, Koroviev, Behemot, Azazello, Hella - I don't connect one person counterpart for everyone in the book, but I see similar behavior in general.

I know this is non ency - but I'm not the only one who can see this. Here, an example: http://www.marianotomatis.it/blog/research.php?url=20130722

If you too think this is important - you can add something into the article, using mentioned reference. I'm writing this, to encourage all to read "The Master and Margarita". Movie was OK, but the book is much better. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.159.131.54 (talk) 20:00, 4 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Motivations[edit]

The grammar for the section on the motivations is getting a bit rough since we might be trying to incorporate too much into the same sentence, so it might need to be broken up a bit. Also, I can't seem to remember the exact reason why the bank was targeted. I remember that they said it was tied to Rhodes' father and monies that were supposed to be paid out on his death, but I can't remember enough detail to update the article.

Vargas or Dray?[edit]

Why is Alma's last name mentioned as Vargas in this article? Imdb states it is "Dray", and that is also the way I remember it was in the movie. --Sspeik (talk) 21:09, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Now You See Me (film) → Now You See Me – Notability and other Now You See Me is (Now You See Me) Now You Don't (song), not Now You See Me Now You Don't Know --Relisted. -- tariqabjotu 04:32, 19 August 2013 (UTC) -- 175.223.41.93 (talk) 03:14, 10 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - too commonly known to associate the phrase with the recent film. Also, I added more entries of similar name. --George Ho (talk) 22:17, 11 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support Will probably remain the most notable thing named "Now You See Me." The hatnote can stay, so readers will not be confused. Taylor Trescott - ^{my talk} + _{my edits} 16:34, 17 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ratings[edit]

Ratings section removed. See WP:FILMRATING. This section is only appropriate when shown to be WP:NOTABLE e.g. if the film was [[recut to achieve a lower rating etc. -- 109.76.238.157 (talk) 19:20, 24 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The plot?[edit]

Someone should look over the so called "Plot". It is basically a thorough explanation of the whole movie and it contains many big spoilers. If I hadn't just watched the movie I would've been pissed off. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lenakiz (talk • contribs) 01:37, 25 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Or at least put a big ol' SPOILER ALERT!!! notice in there somewhere. Is there an official Wiki way to do that? Hell, tell me how and I'll do it. 75.62.129.34 (talk) 16:39, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I tried... here's the answer - from the History page:

16:48, 30 December 2013‎ DavidLeighEllis . . (enwikipedia no longer uses spoiler alerts)

they undid my change and left that reason. 75.62.129.34 (talk) 21:43, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why would you read a section called "Plot" if you didn't want to know spoilers? See WP:SPOILER for the related policy. Hoof Hearted (talk) 19:13, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ending[edit]

I wonder if there shouldn't be some mention at the very end of this article or maybe at the end of the plot summary that the part about the 4 Horseman appearing in the desert is not in all released versions. I just watched the movie "on demand" from my local cable provider and that scene was not in it. There is mention that the blu-ray version contains additional footage and scenes so it seems logical to mention that some versions contain less than the stated plot in this article. --BLACKMONGOOSE13 (talk) 02:07, 9 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I realize this is an old post, but I'll make this edit because I was just (like 3 minutes ago) disappointed by the same thing. As the credits started rolling I went to look up one of the actors and looked away when I saw that sentence in the plot summary. Then I waited through all the credits, for nothing. I think that's helpful to know. Jojopeanut (talk) 01:38, 20 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Someone removed it, so I found a citation and re-added it. It doesn't make sense to include this in the plot if it isn't in all releases.Ukrpickaxe (talk) 06:09, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

American ? French-American film ?[edit]

Produced by americans but directed by a french. So, what ? If no one answer, i change. SwaxawS (talk) 22:10, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
